After uploading files, create a share-link and send it to the recipient! You can also share files with multiple people at once. Even if the recipient does not install the app, the recipient can download via the share-link by entering the link into the address bar of your web browser in PC and Mobile Device.

If you receive a file from a mobile device, you may not download it in a mobile web browser if the file format or codec that you want to download is not supported by the OS. In this case, please install Send Anywhere app to download files. Therefore, we recommend you to install Send Anywhere app so that you can download all files faster and more stable.

If you transfer with a 6-digit security key, you can download the file by typing the security key you received in the key field of the Receive on the SendAnywhere website without installing a desktop app on your PC. However, in order to receive files from your mobile device, you have to install our Send Anywhere app.
